I bought quite the expensive bitch for my first doll (seriously fuck this weird addiction I am developing why did I drop 4K like it's nothing) and realized that I appreciated the Etsy lady's backdrop and flowers/furniture she has. Does anyone have any good sources they like? She is 36 CMs tall. I'm thinking grass, clouds, typical fantasy beauty crap.

so is that roughly 1/5 scale? imo that’s kind of an odd one if so, but you might be able to get away with using some 1/6 furniture and props. 1/6 is one of the easiest scales to shop for, but it might take you some trial and error and paying close attention to measurements for compatibility. are you planning to build out a diorama with like silk flowers and ttrpg terrain or something?

Precisely. I purchased from an etsy seller by the username AmadizBeauty. I'm surprised I purchase a non-anime-esque doll, but to be absolutely honest, and I mean fucking honest, the doll looks like someone I literally once knew. What faggot shit huh? Either way, I genuinely do plan to make a wonderfully bright and lively diorama with silk flowers and even a little flowing creek. It will be a lot of work, but I think it will be beautiful when it's done. I think life is so fucking ugly, ugly enough that those who hate it need to surround themselves with beauty which heals the mind and soul.

sounds like quite a project! i looked at some of the seller’s etsy listings, and searching for “cathedral window” or “cathedral mirror” should find something with a similar structure to what they have in their background, plus some fairy lights. their furniture could be anything from a plant stand to a pet bed with some faux fur draped on it, for all i know

Excellent taste. 1/4 is actually really easy to find props for, too. Look up props for dolls like Fashion Royalty 16 (not the normal one because those are 12" dolls), Tonner dolls like Ellowyne Wilde, Ashton Drake Gene Tyler, and even Volks sells nice props every once in a while. I find a lot of my best stuff from antique and vintage stores.

Funnily enough, this is one of the things I was thinking to try, but I didn't have any laying around to try. It was that or getting small squares of something like silk that I could wrap the hair in, since I think a smooth material would keep the hair from getting too teased.

So 10 years ago I stopped doing warhammer paint commissions and creating terrains and crap. I'll be honest and say I'm only two weeks in and ordered my first doll that costs an arm and a leg, but I've been wondering...for the grass, bushes, terrain in general, is there any specific company that does this sort of stuff for such sized dolls?

It does deteriorate over time. Keep dry and avoid handling excessively. I have old Volks shoes and accessories that are unused and still deteriorates while in packaging. Enjoy it while it lasts. I hate this intentional, planned obsolescence that they incorporate into their products to make you buy newer ones.

How often do you change your doll's cloths? I changed both mine today after they worse the same outfit for a few months and spent way too much time trying to get everything just right. Luckily, I always angle their heads down and to the right so they're looking at me when I sit at my desk but the pose and wig placement always takes me forever and I spent 30 minutes trying to get a hat angled just right but I think I got everything set.

On the left is Letina from Myou wearing G389, her wig is WDR3007 both from alicebjd and on the right is Olivia from Maskcat wearing G479 from alicebjd and I think the wig came from Denverdoll.

i don’t recognize the torso (my skill gap aside, kind of difficult with the shirt), but i’ve seen similar hand joints from doll chateau. that said, this doesn’t otherwise look like doll chateau to me—their style is pretty distinct

where do euroanons find doll face artists? I'm new to this hobby and would like to commission a head for an OC I have in mind. Etsy doesn't seem to have a large variety, Booth filters me due to the language barrier and Yahoo auctions is completely inaccessible in Europe...

The setting spray? I'm convinced it's watered-down Aquanet/Rave in a spray bottle based on the smell alone. Decant some of the cheapest hairspray you can find in the EU equivalent of a dollar store and see about mixing it with quantities of distilled water until you get something that feels similarly tacky yet quick-drying (or just use the stuff straight, though it's gonna have a lot more "hold" and coverage in comparison.) If you find the right one, you'll know. It has a characteristic scent of vaguely floral fumes.

For the oil mist, I'm not convinced of this, but I am assuming it's mineral oil emulsified into a quantity of water, if it's not just straight mineral oil in a spray bottle? Don't take that at face value, I haven't tested this and I don't want to hurt any dolls – but unless there are specific oils safe for synthetic wigs, I can't imagine it being anything else.

As for the wig wax, it's some kind of "water wax", but I have NOT found a dupe for it, unfortunately. All the ones I've tried are much more of a solid wax instead of a cream. They "hold" differently, might leave residues on the wig, and overall have been a poor substitute for whatever Volks is selling. It's possible it's a bespoke cosplay-specific styling product for synthetic wigs I haven't come across yet; there was a shortage once at Volks (JP and US) on water wax and I tried a ton of different things from local stores, but none of them gave equivalent results.

Finally, I've heard their wig shampoo is just watered-down fabric softener, but I haven't tested that myself. In any case, good luck anon! I hope you can find some things that work for you. The changing shipping situation globally continues to be a nightmare.

Well yeah, there's absolutely nothing complicated that isn't broken down into parts. It's complicated because it does have parts. Many of them. So that's a lot of work, precision and experience that goes into making something like that, leaving aside the design work if it was all done by one person.
But I don't think anyone is expecting a single stitch to take care of the bustier, the lacing and the ornaments all at once.

cute!! handling wigs is going to be tricky and imperfect despite your best efforts, but that’s ok. as long as you only brush gently, in small sections working up from the bottom, you shouldn’t ruin the wig (i.e. by distorting the synthetic fibers). if you don’t have a tiny doll comb or a tiny toothbrush, a q-tip can work in a pinch for very light surface smoothing and nudging small sections into place. you’ll want to be really careful to avoid touching the face whenever possible!

Mission ??success??failed??. In terms of making her taller things worked great. Hibiki's grown about 3cm and proportionally exactly where I'd like her compared to Rin. Downside is that her original knee joint had too much material removed and so everything is kind of just floating around like she's an Imomodoll. I'll have to do another bit of surgery after getting an extension 3D printed out to fill the gap -- the peg itself isn't removable from the joint.

As for the new elbow joints, they extremely stiff for rotating the forearm and wrist compared to the older set. Probably need to shave off some material and bend in the upper arm so its not gapped as badly. It's not the drop in replacement that I thought it would be.
